this week end...why bother
If for every time someone complained about 2m being dead they instead
put out a CQ call, the band would be positively buzzing with activity!
If you want the current situation to change in your area, then it might
be a good idea to support and participate in initiatives to encourage
use of the band.

If you really want to promote activity on a dead 2m band, just have a
long QSO (a 'pretend' QSO if necessary) on the calling frequency.
You'll have everyone within earshot leaping up and telling you, in no >uncertain terms, to QSY.

Another way on SSB is to use the wrong sideband.

You'll have everyone within earshot leaping up and telling you, in no

Transmitting a carrier on a beacon frequency would usually elicit a
response when all else had failed.
